So I'm selling my GeForce 4 Ti 4200, and looking to buy a nVidia 6800GT. Anybody have any advice on the best kind/best place to buy one? Any comments would be helpful, I don't want to waste $400+.

If you live in the US, you can get some great deals on newegg . Outpost can have some good deals as well

I have a BFG 6800GT and I absolutely love it. I comes clocked at 370/1000 rather than 350/1000 but I have it running at 400/1100 with zero problems.

You will be happy with pretty much any brand of 6800GT.

Where'd you buy yours at R_ivi_N? And how much did you pay for it?

I bought it at Fry's Electronics for $399 + tax... $423 if I recall. Didn't feel like ordering it online and saving a few bucks. Especially when most places it wasn't actually in stock. Might be a better situation now.

Chaintek. It's friggin awesome.

422/1200 NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER

yoshi i thought you had an x800xt pe

I was going to get one, but they were out of stock everywhere I looked. So I opted for this instead.

wow you guys have lots of money to get those video cards, im building my pc for just twice as much as the cost of your video cards...

My computer cost as much as my GT w/ my old Ti4400

what is it? specs?

AMD Athlon 2036 MHz (Thoroughbred core)
PC2100 512mb (2x256)
Biostar crap mobo
40 gb 7200 RPM Maxtor
LG DVD burner (8x +/- R 4x +/- RW 24x CD-R/RW)
some random case (good on cooling, 4 case fans)

I found this while looking around. Look good?

Don't forget to try [url=froogle.google.com]Froogle[/url]. Here's the best deal for a GeForce 6800GT I've found through them so far (The dealer's reliability is indeterminate, but it's an Asus brand card):

Dj Yoshi: Which Thoroughbred processor runs at 2.036 Ghz? Is that the XP2700+? I posted a complete listing of AMD processor specs somewhere on a thread, but it's been lost somewhere here, and I've forgotten almost everything on it.

[edit: I just found the list I was looking for. There's no 2.036Ghz processor on there, but it does lack the 2700+, and perhaps others. I've GMailed it to myself so I won't lose it again. (It took me 1 1/2 hours to compile)]
